Holy Cross in Algeria: The Early Years, 1840-1849
ISBN: 9780595465736 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. When Holy Cross missionaries landed in Algeria in 1840, they had only a vague idea of what work they would be undertaking. Trained as teachers, they discovered that the country had a very weak educational system and the few schools that did exist did not want competition from new teachers. Working first at an orphanage in Algiers, the Brothers eventually settled into schools at Oran, Bone, and Philippeville. None of the locations was ideal for teaching, and the local authorities did not want to pay the Brothers a salary. But with perseverance, the Brothers found that their schools were...

After Holy Cross, Only Notre Dame: The Life of Brother Gatian (Urbain Monsimer)
ISBN: 9780595298303 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. While seven religious men founded the University of Notre Dame in 1842, the history of its early years is generally told from Edward Sorin's point of view. This biography of Urbain Monsimer makes new use of archival material to approach the university from a different perspective. From his earliest years in Holy Cross until his death, Monsimer was a fascinating person, brightly intelligent, suspicious of authorities, hard on himself and those around him. Arriving in America at the age of 15, Monsimer quickly learned English and acclimated himself to American ways. After eight years at Notre...

Early Men of Holy Cross: "To Sustain Each Other Until Death"
ISBN: 9781532009655 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 338 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The religious congregation that came to be known as Holy Cross began in France when Basile Moreau joined the Brothers of St. Joseph to a small band of priests he had gathered to work in the diocese of Le Mans, France. The early Brothers of Holy Cross were an energetic group, dedicated to teaching in small parish schools. Eventually Moreau sent them to missions in Algeria and Indiana where they thrived, often under harsh pioneer conditions. Based on their letters, Klawitter has reconstructed the lives of eleven of these courageous men whose apostolic work brought hope to children on...

Poems of Richard Barnfield
ISBN: 9780595367986 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 182 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Richard Barnfield is an important Elizabethan poet whose work continues to gather appreciation from readers and critics alike.

Later his poetry turned didactic, but he never lost his gentle sense of line and image. For an unknown reason, he was disinherited by his father in favor of a younger brother, and Richard Barnfield lies today in an unmarked grave. His poetry continues to delight and amaze readers.

Gareth
ISBN: 9781491720998 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "Gray Eyes" Quiet over steel, gray eyes focus from his soul out into a light murky with the smoke that night mists from the evening's hocus-pocus. Useless to resist the power of his eyes when they fix you with a stare meant to kill, then eat, over glare from iris glinting off the starry skies. No message from the touch of quiet paws as he firms, intent for a strike lightning-swift, jagged, nothing like the velvet rationale of laws. Once you're meshed between his teeth, accept new life his way through his flesh, turgid, understood he's master, the guess of "no" absorbed to "yes" above,...

The Agony of Words
ISBN: 9780595306930 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Since many things never change, the present collection of poems works on themes that endure in literature, among them the pain of loss and the thrill of love as captured in the agony of words, those slippery vehicles that humans must rely on for capturing thought. The title poem wonders: "What can I say to sing to you that's sensible to anyone but me?" Some of the poems here are humorous, like the musings in a musician's brains as he plays: "Pork chops fly off his bridge with oyster stuffing, candied yams." And other poems are dead serious, fascinated with the wonder of death: "So I'll be...
